The law of attraction is the name given to the maxim "like attracts like" which in New Thought philosophy is used to sum up the idea that by focusing on positive or negative thoughts a person brings positive or negative experiences into their life. This belief is based upon the idea that people and their thoughts are both made from "pure energy", and the belief that like energy attracts like energy.
The concept of law of attraction received criticism from skeptical essays, like the Robert Todd Carroll's skeptic dictionary.
The law of attraction may refer to:
- Law of attraction (New Thought), a philosophical concept in New Thought
- Laws of Attraction, a 2004 film
- Laws of Attraction (TV series), a television series
